"Who is spreading rumors and slandering my Ruoxi!"
Lu Jin strode in from outside the hall with an imposing aura, followed by a waiter whose face was completely covered.
Everyone was astonished.
Why did Miss Lu come in from outside?
I haven't seen her at all. Where did the young lady go?
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jian Ruoxi finally reacted, turning around to look at the person standing at the entrance of the hall, feeling extremely fortunate.
"Great, Shi Tou has found Xiao Jin."
"Then I have nothing to worry about."
When the old lady of the Lu family saw that her granddaughter was once again on the opposite side of her, she still firmly protected Jian Ruoxi.
Scenes from many years ago reappear here.
She remembered it clearly; back then, just like today, Xiao Jin protected that male celebrity in the entertainment industry, even at the cost of going against her.
She even said that she would leave the Lu family in the future.
Years later, the result is still the same.
This time, Xiao Jin is protecting someone from the entertainment industry again, only this time, it's Jian Ruoxi.
"Xiao Jin, look what Jian Ruoxi has done to your future sister-in-law!"
"Are you still going to protect that woman?"
"Are you still my granddaughter?!"
Old Mrs. Lu's words were quite harsh.
Just as Lu Jin was about to retort, she saw Jian Ruoxi, who was standing in front of her, shake her head.
She didn't want Xiao Jin to have any more conflicts with her grandmother because of her, which would damage the relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter.
But Lu Jin refused.
It was because she wasn't around back then.
That's why Tianlei suffered such a great injustice and eventually disappeared.
Now that she's right here, if she can't even protect Ruoxi, how can she forgive herself?
Jian Ruoxi saw from afar that Lu Jin's body was trembling with rage, and she knew that she was still blaming herself for what happened in the past.
Unable to go and persuade Xiao Jin right now, she could only use her eyes to ask the stone behind her for help.
"Stone, don't let her come over."
Shi Tou received the message from Jian Ruoxi and nodded heavily.
He turned the voice changer button and spoke to Xiao Jin in a voice she had never heard before.
"Xiao Jin, don't worry."
"The more you argue with the old lady and protect Miss Jian, the more disadvantageous it will be for her current situation."
"Wait patiently and trust Miss Jane; she is capable of defending herself."
Moreover, Lu Shen was also present.
A man like him wouldn't just stand by and watch his woman get into trouble.
Therefore, Jian Ruoxi should be safe.
"I'm just afraid that I'll lose the chance to save someone important again."
Li Tianlei knew what she was talking about.
"It's not that you lost the chance to save someone, it's just that the person was too cowardly and didn't face it with you."
As soon as the person behind him finished speaking, Lu Jin turned around and looked at him in confusion.
What did the stone mean by saying that?
"Let's keep watching what's ahead. We can help when things get really out of control."
Seeing that Xiao Jin was in a stable mood, Jian Ruoxi had no more worries.
She coldly swept her gaze across the crowd, finally fixing it on Jian Mengyu.
"You say I caused the wounds on Li Anran's body, do you have any evidence?"
Jian Mengyu thought that Jian Ruoxi might have been scared out of her wits, that she could ask such a stupid question.
“I am a witness. I saw you attack Miss Jane with a fruit knife. Not only me, but so many other guests around also saw it.”
Jian Ruoxi maintained a calm expression, as if she were a complete outsider.
"It was so dark, and that was a blind spot. Everyone was so far away. What else could they possibly see besides Li Anran being injured?"
"She injured herself."
"Of course, it's also possible that Jian Mengyu caused Li Anran's injury."
"Isn't there a saying that goes something like this?"
"The thief cries 'Stop thief!'"
With a bang, Jian Mengyu's mind seemed to explode.
To be honest, she really didn't expect that Jian Ruoxi would still have the energy to fight back when everyone was criticizing her.
As she envisioned, she faced a situation where she was condemned by everyone.
Jian Ruoxi was already terrified and completely lost her composure; she was nowhere near as sharp-tongued as she was now.
It seems I really underestimated this older sister.
The surrounding guests couldn't help but start gossiping after hearing Jian Ruoxi's words.
“Miss Jian’s words seem to make some sense. We really didn’t see clearly who attacked Miss Li just now.”
Although Miss Jane is the one with the strongest motive, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
We can't just arbitrarily accuse innocent people when there isn't enough evidence.
"I, I can testify that it was Ruoxi who attacked me."
Li Anran raised her hand with difficulty, making the final, decisive statement.
She was very glad that she had managed to hold on until now with her willpower, otherwise she would have really been fooled by Jian Ruoxi.
Then all her efforts today will have been in vain.
With Li Anran's accusations, the way everyone looked at Jian Ruoxi began to change.
Some people have already started to back away, keeping a certain distance from her.
Lu Shen looked at Li Anran, who was pale-faced, with disdain.
"Alright, stop talking, the doctor will be here soon."
If there weren't so many people at home, he would have knocked Li Anran unconscious with a single blow, leaving her speechless.
The private doctor arrived just in time.
Upon receiving the news, he immediately began preparing manpower and supplies. This time, he even brought a stretcher with him to the Lu family.
Lu Shen frowned slightly when he saw the complete set of equipment.
If he remembered correctly, he had someone tell his private doctor, "As long as the person doesn't die, there's no need to put in much effort to save them."
Upon meeting Lu Shao's cold gaze, the private doctor knew what the young master was thinking.
The reason he brought all the items was to save face for Young Master Lu and the Lu family.
If things really go according to Young Master Lu's plan, with so many guests present and only him coming, there will be countless speculations about the Lu family tomorrow.
The private doctor beckoned to his assistants, signaling them to lift Li Anran onto the stretcher first.
Everyone had gone up, but Li Anran was still a little reluctant to leave.
She still stared at Lu Shen with a lingering look, her voice tinged with apology.
"Ah Shen, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that Xiao Jin's party was ruined. Please remember to apologize to her for me."
Lu Shen said dismissively, "It's alright, Xiao Jin won't mind. You can go ahead."
Li Anran nodded in relief.
She then gave Jian Mengyu a wink, indicating that after she left, Jian Mengyu would have to fend for herself.
Jian Mengyu gave Li Anran a reassuring look.
After she left, Jian Mengyu walked over to Lu Shen and deliberately stood very close to him.
Jian Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly.
Oh? I didn't expect that Jian Mengyu had such feelings for Lu Shen.
Even at this point, he still didn't forget to stick to her.
I wonder if Mr. Zheng has seen this.
